Without any access to system resources, you wouldn't be able to bootstrap from a tiny Lisp kernel to a richer system. A sector-sized Lisp (when you eventually get it down to that size) is a neat project, but something of a closed system.

Part of the magic of a minimalist Forth environment is that they come with primitives for accessing raw memory, the stacks, and facilities for extending the language. You can build new parsing words, interface with hardware, and so on.
I have a similar setup, but use it on a subdomain, e.g. *@sub.example.com

This makes it harder to just randomly spam <anything>@example.com because you need the subdomain, which is what spammers do - just randomly generate local parts that might exist. info, john, sales, etc.

And don't get me wrong, the 8bit guy is very knowledgeable, nerd, good hacker, has cool videos and seems to be a nice guy with good intentions.

His most recent video is called "Pocket Computers from the 1980s" but should be called "Pocket Computers from the 1980s in the US" - I would be perfectly fine with that.

He only talked about the PB-700 with it's amazing gfx display for the time. But there were many Sharps and Casio pocket computers in the 80s that had 2 or 4 line gfx displays, e.g. the PC-1600 or some casio FX-8XX models. It's only that Tandy chose to not rebadge those. So the impression he gives about the pocket computers of the 80s is off by his US view.

Sorry for sounding negative but that's half a gym membership right there. Except for a gym membership I can go 24/7 down the block (5 min walk) get access to 8 C2 rowers, a bunch of barbells, dumbbells, treadmills and spinning bikes as needed, as well as a sauna and space to train in many different ways with friends. Covid will blow over, blowing 300 bucks on a subscription for such a narrow training gear will just not feel like the right tradeoff.

(Former competitive rower here, so YMMV.)

Alright, off to the gym. :)
I am curious about the overhead on a packet network for erasure codes. I am guessing they're easier to use on a channel oriented network where a small number of senders and receivers are protecting a multiplexed packet stream. Additionally I'm guessing the most effective use would be 2D encodings like optical media use to spread the codes out over time (for runs of bit errors) and space (single bit errors) which would introduce another latency/efficiency tradeoff.
I get the desire to stay humble. This feels like splitting hairs though.

> it can sometimes be hard to get a government ID that isn't a driver's license

As far as I know every state will issue a picture ID, similar to a driver's license but which doesn't confer driving privileges. to someone who doesn't drive.

If the argument is that people who can't drive will find it more difficult to make it to the office that gives out government issued IDs, the obvious solutions are (1) put more of those offices in places like inner cities, convenient to public transportation, and (2) have the political activists who spend so much time complaining about disenfranchisement do some actual work instead and provide people transportation to and from the offices.

> the state might not consider a tribal ID sufficient to vote

The solution to that is obvious too: either fix the state law or fix the tribal ID requirements so they meet existing state law.

Season one was dramatically better than the last three seasons, all of which were filled with puffery and style over substance. Cameron - core to the show - got more distant, vague and poorly constructed with each season. The first season was gritty, tense, down to the metal. The rest of the seasons were good, not great, and weakened as each season went by. The last season was nearly mailed-in as far as story goes. It's like the writers were zooming out season by season and by the last season everything was distant, like watching cardboard cutouts of the characters from a great distance.

I’m not sure why you read GP’s comment as virtue signaling. Sure, those examples you gave sound like virtue signaling. I dislike that sort of people probably more than you. Maybe it was his italicized “terrified” comment. I guess you were thinking “Seriously? This terrifies you?”

But GP is talking about something more serious. Maybe read their comment again. He literally said he saw someone die due to a similar situation.

Your OSHA comment sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder about something.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialized in mental health meds.

A psychologist can diagnose your with mental illnesses and help you via therapy and testing.

Very different. A psychiatrist makes significantly more than a psychologist and needs to go to actual med school, do residency and so on.

My pet theory as to why not is how it's less profitable usually than 15m doctor visits or large do-or-die surgeries and is more objective than once a week 1 hr therapy sessions, thus easier to make money as a professional from insurance providers.

The mentally ill also have a harder time holding a job and so the ones that need it the most are often the ones most ignored for it, while the ones who need physical medicine the most are old and have retirements to suck out.

It's cheap if you already own the hardware. Even $300 could be 50 months (4 year) of a remote server at the prices suggested by some of the posts in this page.

Furthermore self hosting a backup server at home doesn't protect against burglars and fires. You'll probably lose both your data and their backup.

That's why I prefer a local backup plus a remote one (a combination of git repositories and file storage. )

I've tried to submit to google that there are getting it wrong, no answer.
I've searched the web, it seems like this is something a lot of people are experiencing and even they didn't got a response from google about it.
I've tried to sample my IP in different services like IP2Location and MaxMind, all giving me the current location in Finland.
I know I can specifically tell google my location but now I'm really trying to find out how each company determines my location.
Any one knows?

It's a legitimate fear I think. The only fix I can see is to establish a trustworthy brand which can be hard for a relatively unknown entity.
I am very impressed with what you did, and thank you for sharing the back stories about dealing with manufacturers and the real life pains of troubleshooting customers.

This is real, tough entrepreneurship, and I am very surprised by the number of implied criticisms about how not perfect your product, price, positioning...

The number of issues you solved already, the fact you have a happy installed based is impressive. Further iterations will make it even better, feels like you've done the hardest part.... Congrats.
yes. you are right about that. the benefit of using peertube is at scale, it uses webtorrent tech and that results in massive distribution of bandwidth on the server. like i have seen live streaming screenshots where data from server was 1 GB and 12 GB from peers. Still you need a server that can handle users, p2p saving is secondary.
i also found out about backblaze b2 and cloudflare bandwidth alliance where you pay for only b2 storage and cloudflare takes egress of data. if that works for peertube, that would be awesome. i will definitely set something up as a test in the coming days
That’s not a bad idea, but Google has no incentive to merge such an abstraction into Chromium mainline. You’d have to maintain it out of tree against a hostile upstream. I fear that’s impractical.
Believe it or not these numbers are actually from _after_ me and some others spent a few weeks cleaning up our heavier queries
32% of a sample size of 2601.

Your is probably an unpopular one, but I'd guess because of questions like "Who are these people that cared about privacy, were willing to switch and did actually switch, but don't realize that their phones might even be trying to upload their lives?" Unless you meant that the results of that survey showing 32% of people cared enough that they actually did something about it, in which case, that's not really an opinion. Just a fact that a very small survey (out of the people who use services/companies that can be switched from, if they cared enough to do so) includes a segment that seems to represent "people [that] care enough about privacy to switch to a service that preserves it."

What this survey does not try to establish is what percent of people "cared" and are "willing", but found it not worthwhile to switch, for reasons such as "this is how I communicate with my friends and I cannot convince them to switch" or decided it just wasn't worth it due to other costs.

For me, WhatsApp comes to mind, but I'm guessing it's a somewhat common problem. I personally do NOT want to use WhatsApp, but I have a group of friends that will not switch and especially with Covid, I do not want to lose those connections. Replace "group of friends" with <community> and WhatsApp with <whatever app>.

Not sure what you even meant by "This is not the source of mistrust". m463 pointed out a couple of things, neither of which was a _source_ of mistrust.
>Specifically, it's not worth it if no one uses it because they've switched to Chrome to get the functionality they want.

Agreed with the overall comments in comment section. Seems like an overreaction or making a big deal out of nothing.

Great article. Essentially Google is removing Chromium's ability to sync via Chrome's servers, greatly reducing the usefulness of the open source version.

I personally had long argued for the use of Chromium and this was a massive oversight of mine. I thought Chromium was a viable alternative to Chrome but no I realize Google's plan all along was probably to get their foot in the door then pull the "open source" rug out from us as soon as they could.

More than anything this single action cements Google as a bad actor, one that should be avoided as much as possible moving forward. The more people refusing to use Google products moving forward the better.

While I do agree with you a bit, I think the big problem with Astrazeneca is that people hated on it so much that it's banned in the US. This is despite the fact that statistically it is extremely likely to be both safe and 100ish% effective at preventing death.

If we could magically jump in a time machine and vaccinate the whole US with Astrazeneca last Feb, would we have had a pandemic? No. We would have had some cases, maybe a few deaths, but nothing resembling this year.

So I get it. You don't love the studies. I agree they aren't perfect. But I think it would be helpful if everyone who wanted to point a study flaw would end with a disclaimer: "But of course the FDA should instantly lift the ban on Astrazeneca, because such a ban is absurd."

Maybe. I think this single action cements Google as a bad actor and pulls the "open source" rug out from under Chrome. This ONE thing will be the defining factor in me dumping Google moving forward.
If running Chromium is no longer viable, and the web increasingly doesn’t work on Firefox, then for the first time in the web’s history, we don’t have an open-source browser. The web becomes proprietary tech owned by Google. Just let that sink in.
What most annoys me about Mozilla is literally the quantity of advertising.

- They open front pages to advertise about privacy and how much they respect it,

- And when you’ve closed all of that, they do advertising (last one was for MLK) in new tabs,

- And they’ll even pursue you by email to tell you how good they are, even though I specifically untick subscribe boxes everywhere I can.

It is literally Big Brother going through every channel to tell you how much Big Brother cares about you !
I hope you are right. But I don't see anything happening to inspire confidence.
> Jumping from 9 to 12 is quite a few major versions!

Just a little side note.

They were jumping from 9.6 to 12, not from 9.0 to 12.

Before Postgres 10 was released, the first two digits
defined a "major" version). So from 9.6 to 12 it's three major releases (9.6 -> 10, 10 -> 11, 11 -> 12)
I'm of the mind that randomness is only an approximation of complexity, if you're omniscient then randomness doesn't exist and everything is deterministic.

However it seems to me the deterministic vs randomness debate is of the same order as the existence of god(s) : we will never be able to prove or disprove it and we aren't able to make useful predictions out of the information one way or the other so we might as well just agree to disagree and move on.

Watching the initial stage where this amorphous blob of cells just kept multiplying, made me think that the blob of cells is just that - the bioprinter material. The shape is probably set by the printer, i.e. the parent body, and that blob of cells would never form anything meaningful without the parent. This theory would fall apart, though, if such an organism can be replicated in a lab.
Businesses are in no way obligated to not discriminate (so long as it's not a reason that's due to a protected class). It seems like you disagree.
Doesn't make sense to me. Why would anyone want to have their bookmarks managed by Google if privacy is their goal. I understand that this is about features you get when you login into browser with your Google account, which I doubt people who value privacy will do anyway. Importing bookmarks (or managing them some other way) seems almost trivial compared to other challenges of using linux, I don't understand why there's such emphasis on this. As for spellchecker - perhaps having your text sent to Google in full is not something necessarily desirable. Maybe I'm missing something.
I totally agree with this, and it marks the first series for me a bit. The setting and concept are great, but Joe is a pastiche and until they calm his character down he's not very believable. He gets too much screen time and the expense of other, better characters. As you say, it's not bad, just it hasn't grown into itself. The last series is both excellent and poignant. The group always being just a bit too early with their ideas creates a sense of innovation but it's also tinged with failure which I think really works.
Really, couldn’t one that cared about this just add bookmark syncing to chromium? Using some other service?

Do the people who use Chromium really sign into their Google account? If that's the case, you can just as well use Chrome itself.

My assumption was that Chromium users would want a browser without all of Google's cruft.
They can compile more C11 code than C99, thanks to the stuff dropped in C11.

They also support most of the C standard library additions.

As of C++20, the biggest difference is that designated initializers must follow field declaration order, restrict and _Generic aren't supported, and the type safety semantics are stronger.
